My game 1 or 2 absence if he's not ready doesn't seem as criticized anymore. The redskins will be more cautious after all the criticism and that they want to keep him for 10 years not 2 BC injury. Will he be ready health wise? No one knows, but more cautious decisions will be made. Cousins is the best back up, let's find out if needed!

that's BS - the Redskins & Mike are not the slightest bit influenced by ANY criticism - Mike and RG3 are BOTH very conscious of what they BOTH did wrong last season - they fully understand how important RG3 is for the long term

Will he be ready health wise? No one knows, but more cautious decisions will be made.

that's more BS - you and I don't know what the hell is happening but trust me - Mike and RG3 know exactly what the status of that knee is

Cousins is the best back up, let's find out if needed!

I have no problem using Cousins and we can be very good with him at QB - do you really think that Mike should start Cousins to "find out" things about him - that's just not worth debating

Skinsjock, your arrogance is starting to piss me off. I'm telling you they will be extremely cautious with Robert and we will all find out in the future. I'm done speaking on this manner. He may or may not start game 1 all depends when the team gets a good feel for his abilities, not just dr andrews permission. Peace and love

no worries - I'm just frustrated that the consensus is not that IF RG3 is ready to play and Mike knows from seeing him practice that he's ready to play - we all should be wanting him to play and NOT worrying about his knee

we'll all see soon who was more correct in their evaluation of the information given

btw - thanks for letting me know that I'm getting into your head a little

Apparently Mike is going to base his decision on RGIII's twitter feed and off the cuff comments to the media. lol.

I'll be psyched if RGIII starts against the Eagles. I just want and expect the team to be cautious with him. From all we've heard, his recovery has been incredible, but the fact remains he had major knee surgery seven months ago.

you may be right ... or not - we'll soon see ...

and .. about the surgery - you need to catch up, this is a VERY different world than you seem to be able to grasp on to

There's no doubt about it, man! Adrian Peterson was back running like a beast eight months after surgery last year. I totally get that and it gives me a lot of hope for RGIII. I'm no pessimist, my friend.

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III says he’ll wear a hinged brace on his right knee throughout the 2013 season. After that, though, all bets are off.

“I don’t know if I’ll wear it forever,” Griffin said Monday afternoon. “I know I’ll wear it for the rest of the season. After the first [ALC surgery in 2009] I wore it for a year and I thought I’d wear it the rest of my life. And the next year came around, I took it off, we won a Heisman and did a whole lot of other things. It just depends on how the leg feels. I don’t plan on wearing it past this season, but that all depends on what happens.”

Asked how much the brace is restricting his movement, Griffin said flatly, “It’s not.”

When Griffin injured the knee in December, adjusting to the brace, which straps to his thigh and lower leg and features hinges connecting the top and bottom – was not easy, mostly because he had not worn one since 2010. This time, however, he’s been wearing it for several months and, because of that, his leg has built up additional strength.

“Last year it was a concern because I didn’t play with the brace, or have to rehab with the brace all year,” he said. “So when you put it on, it kind of does restrict you a little bit more because you’re not used to it. Now that I’ve rehabbed with it and everything … you get used to it. Your leg gets stronger and you can carry that extra weight.”

Griffin created a bit of a stir last Thursday when he took a snap during the morning walkthrough without the brace. After realizing his mistake, he quickly returned to the sidelined and put it on.

Although that happened in front of several thousands of fans and a dozen reporters, he acknowledged Monday that it wasn’t the first time he forgot to put it on.

“I don’t really worry about my leg anymore,” he said. “Consistently I forget my brace. Like I did on the first day and everybody made a big deal about that. I feel great.”

I had a nightmare last night when I dreamt that RGIII blew out his knee again in a preseason game. Luckily I soon realized that I was just dreaming and that RGIII is not playing in the preseason. I know that my story is a little bit ridiculous, but I thought I would share it anyway.
